When there's somethin' strange in the neighbourhood, who ya gonna call?!... well, uh. Apparently nobody, since you're all by yourself in Firebeast's arcadeshooterEvilgeddon Spooky Max when an evil force takes over and floods the streets with monsters. Armed only with your trusty peashooter and whatever weapons the baddies helpfully (though perplexingly) drop on death, you'll have to grind your way through dangerous locations filled with waves of monsters, dealing with the baddest boss in each one, before you finally get to set things right once and for all. Use the [WASD] keys to move, the mouse to aim and shoot, and [spacebar] to cycle through your available weapons.

Each stage will release various ghouls at you in waves, and if you survive 'til the end, you can take a crack at the boss. Avoid blasting any ghosts, since they'll drop supplies to you if you touch them. Die, and, well... just try again. Between stages, you can visit the upgrade shop to spend the coins you earn increasing your arsenal, or stars, which are granted for completing special objectives and leveling up, to make the hero himself stronger. It's the sort of game you'd call "grind-tastic", and whether that's a nail in the coffin depends on if you enjoy the sort of achievement-driven gameplay and the repetition of guzzling coins 'til you're buff enough to proceed. It's worth mentioning that I occasionally seemed to encounter "sticky" terrain when moving and I would appear to get hung up on invisible objects, though immediately tapping the movement key again would fix it. It's a simple game that could have done with some more instruction in some areas, but has a great, smile-inducing quirky design. What makes a hero? Not muscles or great one liners. It's all about the hair, man, and the courage to wear your sunglasses at night.

Some games are able to scratch my neurotic itch in grinding for upgrades, this games is one of them. Evilgeddon has a very well balanced system for upgrading weapons, skills, rewarding achievements, gaining experience and tons of things you can throw your well earned zombie coin at if you're a consumer whore.

The only downside is, the game is HARD. I've bought and upgraded every gun in the game to it's max and I still fail to beat the 3rd stage boss. The game is fun and is able to hold my attention despite it's difficulty (maybe I just suck? I dunno) but it's definitely worth a shot, or a hundred...

TIPS

1. Pay attention to your experience requirements, try to get all three objectives met in one round, this will be your main source for gaining skills.

2. Upgrade EVERYTHING, but in moderation with the secret store, there are some really helpful things in the secret store that effect your pistol, some give extra skill points and some give money away.

C2: Use rocket launcher to deal more damage on mummy

S5 and S6 are cheats that can be used during combat.
Note: that the cheats will say the cheat is used if you input them when you pause the game, but won't be applied to your character/gun.
Also the cheat must be input each time for each use.
This makes it almost impossible to use while being chased by monsters.

and when the boss started to chase me he kept running and running. I ran away from him and got him off screen. I kept hearing him run, but not show up. Guessing he was stuck on something I went up and he was gone. I had to quit or fend off endless pumpkins.

The second on is not a big problem, but just something I found out. I you turn off the sound effects when you face the 3rd boss, his ranged pentagram attack still makes a sound. I found this out the hard way..... I wasn't expecting it and it startled me when I had both the sound and music off and my earbuds in.
